Simsbury issues heat advisory; cooling centers open and town offices to close
Summary
A local presenter warned of forecast temperatures in the '100s' and urged residents to stay hydrated and indoors. The broadcast said town offices and buildings, including Eno Hall and the public library, will be closed during the advisory and that cooling centers will be available across town (specific center list was not fully specified on air).
Simsbury officials issued a heat advisory on a local community broadcast and urged residents to take precautions as temperatures are expected to reach the 100s.
The presenter said residents should stay inside if possible, use air conditioning if available, drink fluids and avoid strenuous physical activity. “Stay inside, get your air conditioning on,” the presenter advised.
The broadcast said cooling centers would be available across town and identified Eno Hall as a likely location, though the presenter said they would double-check that specific site on follow-up. The presenter also announced that all town offices and town buildings—including Eno Hall and the public library—would be closed during the advisory.
The broadcast did not list a complete roster of cooling-center locations, hours of operation, or eligibility requirements; residents were not given a phone number or official webpage on air. For confirmed locations and opening hours, residents should consult the town’s official communications.
